Read what parents are saying about Scribner Road Elementary SchoolAmazing school with devoted teachers, administrators, and staff! Can't say enough good things about our experience at Scribner! I have 2 boys enrolled there now and it has an array of amazing extracurricular opportunities and academic focus that is challenging for all. High parental involvement!
Posted by a parent on 6/21/2018Scribner is amazing! We have moved frequently with my husband's employment, this is the third school my children have attended, and I am blown away at the difference between Scribner and their previous schools. Before school even began they had a "new kids club" meeting where the guidance counselor met with the kids and the parents met with the principal to address any concerns. The support from the school counselor continued after school began and made a difficult time for my children so much easier. The principal is warm and friendly and obviously committed to seeing his school succeed. The teachers are competent and motivated, and the test scores speak for themselves! Is there such a thing as a perfect school- probably not, but anyone who rates Scribner a "1" has probably never seen a school that truly deserves a "1". This is a school that has everything I hoped for for my children-a great education by caring and competent staff and even the added bonus of superb music education!! My nine year old daughter, who is very shy and never enjoyed school in the past, told me how much happier she feels at school since she started at Scribner. That speaks volumes to me!
Posted by a parent on 1/10/2013We found with both of our kids that the school taught only to the NYS annual ELA and Math exams. Transition for our kids to middle school from Scribner Rd has been difficult since what was review in math to most of the other kids in the district, was new material to those from Scribner Rd. With review done Sept and Oct of the prior year, teaching to the state exams mid Winter, the kids really only are presented new material for a short period. It made Scribner rank #1 in NYS exams in the area, but it certainly hasn't helped the children with success in the following years.
Posted by a parent on 10/16/2012It seems that a lot has changed since some of these prior reviews were wrtiten. The music program was cut and if your child was in band and was supposed to have a private lesson, that teacher was there 2 days per week. Since many days off are Friday, (4 in the first 3 months), that was missed for kids with lessons that day. If your child has learning differences (ADHD, LD, Autisim, etc) , you should NOT come to Penfield for an education. Those kids are pushed from grade to grade and struggle. Teachers can't possibly give the attention to those and there is little in the form of special ed. Parental involvement with clubs is excellent, teachers put in many hours but it doesn't seem to be appreciated or recognized by the Administration. Budget cuts can be blamed but total disregard of NYS and Federal Law when it comes to students with disabilities is a tragedy.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf your child does not fit into their mold then your child will have a really hard time. This school claims to be “a place with heart” but if your child falls out of their good graces there is no redemption. If your child goes with the flow, does what they are told without question, doesn’t ruffle any feathers then this is the school for them.Parent Review6mo ago - Charles Finney School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is absolutely appalling. It's in a state of disrepair, unclean, and reeks of mold. During my tour, I couldn't help but notice that they prioritize taking money from parents rather than investing in necessary upgrades. They even had the audacity to ask for additional funds to fix an unsafe playground. It's truly revolting. The basement, where classes and instruction are held, is both terrifying and unsanitary, posing a potential hazard. The stairs and walls are riddled with cracks, and the accumulation of dust and dirt gives the impression that it hasn't been cleaned in centuries.What's even more disheartening is their complete lack of support for students facing social and emotional challenges in the aftermath of the pandemic. Children with ADHD receive no assistance whatsoever, and there is a complete absence of enrichment programs. Despite charging exorbitant fees, they provide nothing in return. This school is far from being a solution to avoid "woke" schooling; it's simply a money-grabbing institution that offers minimal instruction at best.There is absolutely nothing unique or valuable that this school provides that cannot be found in a public school. To make matters worse, their technology is severely outdated, reminiscent of the Jurassic era. I urge you to take a closer look at the opulent lives of the board members and compare it to the dilapidated state of the school's infrastructure. It becomes evident that they have no genuine concern for the well-being of your children.Parent Review4mo ago - Rochester Christian School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe personalized approach to education truly sets this school apart. From Pre-K to 8th grade, children are recognized as unique individuals, with teachers tailoring instruction to their preferences and needs. The dedicated staff, including teachers and administrators, treat students as if they were their own, fostering a supportive and nurturing environment. Communication with parents is excellent, keeping us well-informed, and they are always accessible when needed. I highly recommend Rochester Christian School for its commitment to high-quality education and a caring community.Parent Review3mo ago - Faith Child Care & Nursery School
